Title
Body
I am working in asp mvc 3 app. I have a model/entity called History. I have a linq query that returns one value. Depending on what I do, I either get a "Object not set to an instance" error in the controller when the method is called, or I get a "cannot implicitly convert from string to type Models.History." So I am looking for assistance in resolving, do I just need to cast it or something? Here is the method that gives the 'object not set' error: public string GetPastAbuseData(int Id) { var query = (from h in _DB.History where h.ApplicantId.Equals(Id) select h.AbuseComment).FirstOrDefault(); return query.ToString(); } Controller: vm.HistoryModel.AbuseComment = repo.GetPastAbuseData(Id); And if I change the method type from string to History I get the 'cannot convert' error: public History GetPastAbuseData(int Id) { return (from h in _DB.History where h.ApplicantId.Equals(Id) select h.AbuseComment).SingleOrDefault(); } Thank you for your time.
